The Sickeningly Narrow Focus of Our Outrage Sexual abuse, harassment and violence are deeply embedded in our institutions of power; indeed, they are deeply embedded in our culture. If "we" keep this up, and "we" almost certainly will, this culture will finally be dead for good. And not a moment too soon.

Lying for the National Security State In many cases, people call themselves "libertarians" because they know their target audience would regard them as unsophisticated and ignorant if they self-identified as Republicans. I suspect many of such "libertarians" think that their chosen label transmutes their conventional, unremarkable views into a stance many will view as "cool" in some manner. Pity the poor, deluded idiots: "libertarian" is today's Republican.

Golly Gee, Thank You, Mr. Snowden! Snowden has enhanced and bolstered the existing Security State, which has steadily grown in pervasiveness and reach ever since Snowden first broke into the headlines. How can we thank him properly for sharing with us--but only in bits and pieces, strung out over an extended period of time, carefully selected and redacted by equally radiant and responsible journalists--information that the State would prefer we not possess?

The Propaganda War: The Horror of the Paris Rally When over 40 "world leaders" enthusiastically take part in an event of this kind, that fact alone establishes a single incontrovertible, irrefutable fact: whatever is happening, whatever views are being expressed, none of it is any threat whatsoever to power and authority. More specifically, it is no threat whatsoever to State power.
